The Xufu Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, located on the north bank of the Minjiang River, is large-scale. There are as many as five steel-framed factory buildings more than 60 meters long and more than 20 meters wide. Other ancillary buildings and processing workshops are distributed in an orderly manner among the five.
It took more than two hours for Chiang Kai-shek, Kong Xiangxi, Song Ziwen, Ge Jingen and others to complete half a circle around the large factory building.
From the moment they entered the gate of the factory guarded by a security group, Chiang Kai-shek and his entourage had been spending time in heated discussions and exclamations. Chiang Kai-shek and others had all visited the Hangzhou Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, known as "China's No. 1 Aircraft Factory", and
I went there more than once, and now I realize that the factory is nothing but a fake factory. In addition to assembling old American aircraft and repairing various civilian aircraft,
There are no spare parts or production lines. Compared with the well-equipped and advanced Xufu factory, which has more than 500 Chinese and foreign engineers, young and middle-aged technical backbones, and more than 3,200 industrial workers who have received basic professional training, it is so shabby and ridiculous.
Although the Hangzhou factory was established early, in front of the Xufu factory, it was like a weak beggar standing in front of a young and strong wealthy man.
Song Ziwen was a pioneer in advocating the introduction of science, technology, advanced equipment and management experience from developed countries in Europe and the United States. He was the most far-sighted doer in the central government of Nanjing. The Hangzhou Aircraft Manufacturing Factory was opened with Song Ziwen's strong support.
The level of scientific research, manufacturing technology and concepts were extremely backward, and Song Ziwen resigned from office in anger twice, so the Hangzhou factory had to introduce American capital.
But in the end, the Hangzhou Factory, a famous aircraft manufacturer with the banner of a national enterprise, made Americans the largest shareholders. And so far, it has not produced a single aircraft of its own. All engines and supporting parts are imported from the United States.
Components, assembled into backward products, such as those from the United States
It has full intellectual property rights and patent rights for Hawker biplane fighters, Boeing amphibious aircraft and other old models. Even so, the Chinese Air Force still has to purchase them from the Hangzhou factory. There are more than a thousand Chinese technicians and workers in the Hangzhou factory.
I learned almost nothing useful in more than three years.
Song Ziwen saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about it. That's why the Central Aircraft Manufacturing Factory started to be built in Nanchang last year. Due to various reasons such as the suppression of the Communist Party, shortage of funds, and limited technical level, the factory was
So far, the factory has not been fully completed. However, this competition has also prompted the American joint venture partner of the Hangzhou factory not to
Without increasing investment in technology and equipment, it expanded the main factory buildings and replaced old processing machinery. In order to maintain competitiveness, it also proactively proposed to the Nanjing government to send fifty outstanding talents from the Chinese aircraft manufacturing industry to study in the United States for free.
The United States will bear all the expenses of these fifty personnel studying in the United States for the next two years.
However, the reaction speed of the Hangzhou factory was still too late. China's aircraft market has been quietly taken away by An Yi's Xufu aircraft manufacturing factory, not to mention the four aviation regiments of the Southwest Air Force Command, which all use various aircraft from the Xufu factory.
Not to mention the Junkers J, which is all equipped with Sino-German cooperation.
The U52 transport aircraft and the An5 civilian transport aircraft are gradually purchased. China Southwest Airlines, which was upgraded from Sichuan Airlines, has only been purchased by the Guangxi Air Force, the Shanxi-Sui Army Air Force, and the aviation brigade of *** Sheng Shicai.
Xufu factory produces it by itself or
More than 130 fighter aircraft of various types have been assembled through cooperation. All parties have spoken highly of the quality and price of the aircraft at the Xufu Factory. What makes all parties even more reassured is that the Xufu Factory has experienced and skilled maintenance personnel.
service team, as long as the purchaser's aircraft breaks down, with just a telegram, this fast-responsive maintenance service team will fly to the large transport aircraft to solve the problem. Not only will they help repair the aircraft produced by our factory, but they will also generously repair the aircraft for customers.
The old aircraft purchased by other countries have won praise and gratitude from all parties.
Song Ziwen and others knew very well that the achievements achieved by the Xufu Factory were just the beginning. With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the change in the concept of modern warfare, the procurement volume of the Central Army and various forces across the country will increase rapidly in the future, just like An Yi
Various automobiles produced by its automobile manufacturers
Like cars, it has occupied half of the national market in just two years. Manufacturers and sellers in Europe and the United States who have encountered severe challenges can only do nothing in the face of the rapidly rising technical capabilities and endless market means of An Yi's companies.
Hu Naihe, there is no way.
The arrival of Chiang Kai-shek and his entourage was sudden. Except for the army, An Yi did not notify any department. Even the director of the aircraft factory, Luo Zhichun, a Chinese Cantonese doctor of aerodynamics from California, was notified only half an hour before Chiang Kai-shek's arrival.
This thirty-nine-year-old aviation genius who only speaks Chaoshan dialect in Guangdong, China but is fluent in four languages: English, French, German and Italian. He can only communicate with Chiang Kai-shek, Ge Jing'en, Cao Haosen and others through An Yi and Song Ziwen's translators. Song Ziwen
Like An Yi, he can speak Chaoshan dialect and English fluently, but Kong Xiangxi simply communicates with Luo Zhichun in English directly.
***, Luo Zhichun left his position as the production manager of the Fox Aircraft Manufacturing Factory in the United States, and returned to China with a heart to serve the country. He served as the director of the Anyi Aircraft Manufacturing Factory. He also learned a lot of Mandarin in the past two years, but he still stuttered when speaking.
The weird pronunciation made people laugh uncontrollably, making him blush and feel exhausted. This interesting scene made the group of people following him extremely happy.
During the visit, wherever Chiang Kai-shek and his party went, the Chinese and foreign technicians and workers just nodded, smiled, and went about their own business. There was no formal welcome or onlookers everywhere they went.
This phenomenon made Chiang Kai-shek very comfortable and praised him, saying that this is the talent and the place to do his business.
It can be seen that Chiang Kai-shek was also disgusted by the greetings and mobilization of troops everywhere he went. It also made everyone who followed Chiang Kai-shek realize that the rigor and pragmatism of the Anyi Group won Chiang Kai-shek's favor.
What surprised Chiang Kai-shek and all the visitors was that during the nearly two-hour visit, they did not see a complete aircraft. After An Yi explained, they learned that the final assembly workshop of the manufacturing plant was not here, but on the south bank of the Minjiang River.
Next to the air force base, all aircraft are completed there for final assembly and inspection, and then undergo rigorous flight testing before being handed over to various users for use.
Under An Yi's low-pitched introduction, Chiang Kai-shek and other talents learned that An Jiajun had a high-tech flight team - the test flight group. This test flight group with forty-five experienced and highly skilled pilots would not only conduct tests for all civilian aircraft
Various tests before delivery also undertake a more important and arduous task, which is to conduct various tests for various types of military aircraft developed and produced by Xufu Factory. Over the past year, there have been four valuable senior officers at the school officer level.
Test pilot died due to flight failure,
Six people were disabled while landing or parachuting, but this team is still the dream team of the Anjia Army Air Force officers. Only by joining this team can we learn more advanced knowledge and be qualified to fly all types of fighter aircraft.
If you pass the lieutenant colonel level and become the most respected special pilot in the Air Force, you will also be able to obtain a villa and a special car assigned by the Anjia Army Headquarters. As a result, your immediate family members will receive the most generous welfare benefits and a home that makes the family extremely proud.
honor.
Chiang Kai -shek heard this and sighed in his heart. For a few years, he was not surprised at the end of the endless governance of Anyi, and gradually became very adaptable, but An Yi's introduction has made him deeply moved and he was moved.
Violet, Chiang Kai -shek knows the valuable pilot's preciousness. It is because of the constraints of the pilot that the Central Air Force cannot grow up in accordance with the original plan. To this end, Chiang Kai -shek had to agree to divide the major in the Huangpu Military Academy with the aviation school in Hangzhou.
Together with the central aviation school directly under the Aviation Department, under the restrictions of the lack of funds, the air school students have obtained a short -term flight training time for a year of less than 30 hours, which is less than one -fifth of the Syrian aviation school.
It is even more incomparable with the four flying groups of His Majesty Anyi, and in various aspects such as teachers, teaching conditions, and equipment and facilities, it also fell behind Xufu Airlines.
A series of issues that restrict the development of the Chinese Air Force have always been an important reason why Chiang Kai -shek and all generals of the Aviation Department attempted to recover the Xufu Airlines School.
The department did not pay a penny and did not have any effort. When An Yi proposed to run the Syrian Airlines School, the senior authoritative veterans of the Airlines Department also jokes one by one.
The scale, the quality of teaching, the popularity, the level of professional and teachers set up far exceeds the sum of the Central Airlines School, Air Defense School, Surveying and Mapping Schools and Military Schools.
It hurts the a little benefit of the Xufu Aviation School, and Anyi faced the airlines to make the Syrian Aviation School merged into the Central Airlines School. No one dared to come out in front of An Yi
Therefore, this matter has been dragging until now, Chiang Kai -shek has not mentioned it again. Instead, from the whispering report that An Yi just had no reservation just now, he saw An Yi's sincerity and realized what An Yi's potential meaning was.
"The arsenal will not go, go and see the flight group!"
In a word of Chiang Kai -shek, the entire schedule changed, and the team opened the door of the aircraft factory, crossed the magnificent Minjiang Bridge, and soon came to the valley across the Anjia Army Air Force Base.
The cement avenue finally came to the door of the two -story office building based on the green walls and green tiles based on the foot of the mountain. Everyone got out of the car and surrounded Chiang Kai -shek to move forward.
Going to the gate of the mountains built by the boulder and steel bars, Chiang Kai -shek did not stop, and looked up at the arched gate of more than 30 meters high and 40 meters wide.
: "How much time does this assembly workshop take? How much money does it take?"
"All the projects were completed, and 5,800 soldiers of the two workers spent a year and three months. It cost more than 4.8 million yuan in construction costs.
Air defense workers, eternal alerts and observation whistles, radar stations, etc., cost tens of millions. "An Yi whispered.
Chiang Kai -shek took a breath, so that the core of Jiangbei ’s aircraft factory was here, and suddenly realized that his Nanchang aircraft manufacturer was not worth mentioning.
It is undoubtedly a full understanding and preparation of the possible crisis of the future war. It has truly achieved preparations and preparations, preventing problems before, so that Chiang Kai -shek has a deeper understanding of An Yi's ingenuity and vision.
"Okay! Okay, okay, very good!"
Chiang Kai-shek, who was not good at speaking, used the word "good" four times in a row, which completely showed his attitude and mood at the moment. Hearing the surrounding civil and military officials look sideways and sigh secretly.
An Yi asked in a low voice: "Principal, should we go in and take a look first? We can still have time to go to the Ordnance Research Institute after seeing it. The principal will fly to Guiyang tomorrow, and the arsenal is temporarily unavailable. Let's take a look at the Ordnance Research Institute, where
You can see some research and development directions of modern weapons."
Chiang Kai-shek nodded: "Okay! Hurry up and lead the way."
"Yes! Principal, please, everyone please...Mr. Ziwen, what are you looking at? Please!"
An Yi shouted one last time, still looking at the shocked Song Ziwen at the top of the mountain gate.
Song Ziwen heard about the reputation and turned to An Yi. When he saw An Yi's proud smirk, he immediately straightened his face and walked towards Chiang Kai-shek with his hands behind his back. Kong Xiangxi and Ge Jing'en on the side laughed secretly, wondering why An Yi likes Uncle Guo so much.
